Description
KECdesign is Your Partner for commercial food service design, equipment and distribution. More than a "Kitchen Equipment Contractor," KECdesign is a wholesale restaurant equipment dealer and distributor specializing in creative and innovative design/build projects for restaurants, bars, business/industry, franchise and multi-unit operations. Equipment solutions are based entirely on a full diagnosis of a client's unique needs, supported by a customer service team and our end-to-end logistics/distribution and installation services.Centrally located in the U.S. for optimum distribution efficiency, KECdesign can easily execute your food service design, equipment and distribution needs.
Proven Solutions • Sound Advice • Unbeatable Price
KECdesign's approach to business is consultative meaning that we partner with you to find solutions to your food service equipment needs, provide advice to meet your goals, offer custom solutions that make sense and view pricing in terms of bottom-line cost and payback to the organization.
A Better Way
KECdesign was formed in 2000 by Dan Proctor, who had worked for a billion dollar food service conglomerate in the Contract & Design division. Proctor grew frustrated with the "red-tape" and lack of support available handle his jobs. So, he started KECdesign.
Growing up in a family-owned restaurant equipment dealership, Proctor knew KECdesign needed to serve clients with the care of a small business, but with the technological savvy and efficiency of a larger firm able to handle volume distribution needs. Because of this KECdesign is poised to better serve the creative needs of the independent restaurant/bar owners and the distribution needs of multi-unit operators.
Efficient • Flexible • Creative
KECdesign carves a niche by being more nimble than our competitors because we:
Think "outside of the box" beyond products to solutions
Are a "non-stocking" restaurant equipment dealer that purchases items and negotiates deals based upon client needs and volume purchasing power.
Offer in-house CAD design for commercial kitchen design and remodels
Partner with architects, contractors and health departments to execute projects
Use technology to expedite every step of the process
We "get it"
KECdesign's success is based upon experience and a desire to really understand your food service operation. We look at the "big-picture" like your menu items, customer service, turn and peak times, who prepares the food and how it's done. This helps us pinpoint what you really need, and make sound recommendations.
We also diagnose issues, including those you haven't uncovered. For example we can: review layouts and find extra space for storage or equipment; step into a restaurant and know right away if an HVAC system isn't suited to your operation; identify when the CO2 tanks for your soda station are positioned in a way that could become high velocity "missiles;" uncover food safety problems and cook line efficiency improvements.
